Dine Out For WSW
To Celebrate Women’s History Month!

New WSW Fundraiser Launched on 3/12/25
This Women’s History Month, we teamed up with 9 different locations to offer specialty menu items as a new fundraiser for the WSW Community Fund. This idea first began when ¿Por Qué No? owner Bryan Steelman offered to donate 10% of all proceeds in a day from both of their locations. I then asked 8 women owned locations if they wanted to join in the fun and they said yes.
On a rainy Wednesday, this one day only event on March 12, 2025 collectively raised $1514 for WSW. Thank you to everyone who showed up for us. We made history together!

Crowdfunding for Women Founders
Since 2020, women of color have become the fastest growing demographic of entrepreneurs despite receiving less than 1% of venture capital funding. To advance female entrepreneurship, we need equity models that invest in and connect the community across all backgrounds, industries, and stages of business. Since 2022, ALIST starts a new annual GoFundMe campaign to provide grants and subsidize the cost of hiring women to support women. Hundreds of people have invested over 100K in the last 3 years. Please help us get to 25K.
A collective offline donation was made to the GoFundMe the very next week. Not only did we raise money for local women owned small businesses, but we also drove foot traffic to the amazing spots who supported us in this NEW Women’s History Month campaign.
On March 12th
In 2022, ALIST launched the Women Supporting Women (WSW) Founder Meet Ups to bring much needed support to the restaurant industry. For 10 months, this event series distributed $28,416.74 across 30+ women-owned businesses, while keeping 300+ founders inspired and motivated in the middle of a pandemic. 3 years later, the restaurant industry is helping raise money to fund WSW programming. It’s such a fun full circle moment. We’ve built an incredible ecosystem together. Come out and support.
Happy Women’s History Month!
